Recipe: Weight Watchers Sweet Potato Quesadillas



The use of sweet potato offers a unique twist to traditional quesadillas and is really fun to make. I normally serve it with a side of organic salsa, and if you're going to make a night of it, a pitcher of margaritas.

Ingredients
2 flour tortillas
1 small sweet potato
1/4 cup black beans, drained
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt, chili powder and cilantro to taste
Hot sauce to taste
Fat free cooking spray

Directions

1) Peel sweet potato and chop into small pieces. Boil for approximately 10 minutes, or until very soft. Mash.

2) Cover one tortilla with 1/4 mashed potato, beans, cheese, salt, chili powder and cilantro. Cover with second tortilla.

3) Spray fat free cooking spray onto a frying pan and fry tortillas on each side, until cheese is melted**

** Alternatively, I have found it easier to use a George Foreman grill or other type of sandwich grill, as it browns both sides of the tortilla simultaneously, and it cuts down on the difficulty involved in trying to flip the tortilla in the pan.
